55522.6
. (a) If the Secretary of State suspends the corporate
status of any licensee or if the corporate status is forfeited, the
license is revoked by operation of law. The former licensee shall
provide written notice of the suspension or forfeiture to the
director, and to each person with whom it has a farm product
contract, within 15 days of the date the Secretary of State mails the
notice of suspension or forfeiture.
(b) The former licensee, may, upon a showing of no substantial
change in financial resources and liabilities, and within 90 days of
the suspension or forfeiture of corporate status, petition the
director for an order to reissue its license formerly held under this
chapter. If the corporate status has been reinstated by the
Secretary of State, the director may reissue the license if the
director finds that doing so would be consistent with the purposes of
this chapter. As a condition to reissuing the license, the director
may (1) require the former licensee to undertake such financial
guarantees, including the filing and maintaining bonds, as the
director deems necessary to protect the interests of contracting
parties, and (2) impose conditions on the license that are consistent
with the purposes of this chapter as the director deems appropriate.
